Description
Set against the beautiful fall backdrop of Ward Reservation, this exceptional Andover home offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and convenience. Abutting over 700 acres of protected land with 13 miles of trails, the setting is truly special, yet just minutes to Phillips Academy, downtown Andover, and commuter routes to Boston. Step directly onto the trails from your own backyard. Inside, a thoughtfully designed floor plan features a spacious country kitchen with modern updates, generous living spaces, and a stunning primary suite with steam shower, soaking tub, and custom closets. A spacious great room above the garage offers additional living space, while the impressive finished lower level features entertaining and recreation areas, additional rooms for guests, a full bathroom, and direct walkout access to the backyard. Outside, the property is something else entirely. Set on over an acre of cleared, beautifully maintained grounds, the property features sweeping lawns, mature trees, custom stonework surrounding the trees, and classic New England stone walls defining the boundaries. The fall foliage makes an already incredible setting even more special. A custom treehouse, zip line, Grateful Shed, and composite deck with hot tub add to the personality of this one-of-a-kind home. A truly unique property for those who appreciate nature, privacy, and a home with character, all within the sought-after Bancroft and Doherty school districts.
